4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dc9edc44de6cd7cc8cc7f5b36c1adb221eda3207 upstream.
Avoid that the following complaint is reported:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/workqueue.c:2790
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 41, name: rcuop/3
1 lock held by rcuop/3/41:
#0: (rcu_callback){......}, at: [<ffffffff8111f9a2>] rcu_nocb_kthread+0x282/0x500
Call Trace:
dump_stack+0x86/0xcf
___might_sleep+0x174/0x260
__might_sleep+0x4a/0x80
flush_work+0x7e/0x2e0
__cancel_work_timer+0x143/0x1c0
cancel_work_sync+0x10/0x20
blk_throtl_exit+0x25/0x60
blkcg_exit_queue+0x35/0x40
blk_release_queue+0x42/0x130
kobject_put+0xa9/0x190
This happens since we invoke callbacks that need to block from the
queue release handler. Fix this by pushing the final release to
a workqueue.
